In video posted online, Malik Shabazz, NBPP leader admits he
knows NBPP members carry batons and that there was an organized
effort by NBPP to put members at polling locations

Chairman Malik Shabazz says in part "We had to go out and do
what we did..... We tend to go out and do it strong you
know....sometimes we do it real strong".

Shabazz confirms and expands on the willful tactics and
seems to claim victim status due to the generous film footage
showing the clear use of threats by him and his organization in a
national election. "They had cameras and pollwatchers... " says
Shabazz.

Public Advocate does not condone threats of violence or
intimidation by private groups at any time and especially condemns
the use of batons, nightsticks, guns and other instruments to
intimidate votes at any polling place in America or the world.
